50 Best Bars near East Dundee

“great place to stop for taisty drinks“

“The best Corned Beef around. Stopped in for a sandwich and all I can say is WOW! Added the homemade coleslaw and it was amazing! Great Views of the river abd sun was shining on the beautiful stained glass window accents. Service was great! Price was fair and we will return!“

“I walked into this joint with a bunch of metal heads and it felt like that moment in Tombstone when they walked into the saloon and everyone stopped and looked at them. We had fun on the gambling games and that staff was fast and friendly.“

“I love this place my sister is the manager there and she's always a good time people are always happy come there if you want to knock a good time out That's what Theresa she will pleasantly take care of you never a dull moment at this bar“

“River Lee’s is exactly what a dive bar should be. The cozy atmosphere, dimmed by glowing neon signs, makes it feel like you’ve stepped into a time capsule in the best possible way. Nothing fancy, nothing fake — just old-school charm. The beer is cheap, cold, and served without pretense, which is exactly why I’ll keep coming back. If you’re looking for polish, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for character, you’ve found it. River Lee’s gets it.“

“They went above and beyond to make our cocktails (Dark and Stormy) when they were out of ginger beer...they went to a neighboring bar and got some! the ceviche was great too!“

“At Bandito Barney’s we spent our night,
The vibes were buzzing, the mood just right.
The staff was friendly, quick with a smile,
They made our visit feel so worthwhile.

The place itself? A total delight —
Cool décor, great music, and laughs all night.
But when it came to the food on our tray,
We both agreed it was just “okay.”

One funny twist we didn’t foresee:
No Budweiser or Michelob Ultra for me!
But my wife and I still had our share of fun,
And when all’s said and done — we’ll be back for round one.“

“Great bar, friendly staff! Very nice atmosphere to sit and chat or watch the games on the TVs. Gaming section and the food is not bad either! Great choices and good pizza! I love the wide selection of Whiskey, bourbons, Gin and tequilas great neighborhood hangout.“

“Welcoming! Nice atmosphere! Owner is a darling! Great deal! I love the rustic vibe“

“Awesome food and fresh Guinness!“

“I was in the other day for lunch and the music was so loud, you couldn't talk to the person next to you without shouting. Your fish fry is very good and I want to keep coming in, but with the music that loud, I will be going elsewhere.“

“Spotless clean Friendly , congenial service“

“Definitely an underrated spot for fish fry and surprisingly good wings! They definitely cater to locals/regulars, but the staff is very friendly and are quick. The restaurant itself is a bit rundown and can get very loud and packed, but if you're fine with the noise, the heavy pours and delicious dinner makes it worth it!“

“Great atmosphere! Friendly bartenders & customers. The owner, Emma is kind & friendly. Great neighborhood establishment. We'll be back!“

“Best Bingo around. Shelli is fantastic and makes it so much fun to play. Bartenders Abby, Nene& Nick are the best. Chris is the best barback and a great guy. Dutch Inn is an all around great place to go. Always have so much fun and the atmosphere is great.“

“Good drinks, fun board games, friendly staff, bingo on Tuesdays, and overall a fun time.“

“This is a wonderful neighborhood bar. Like the old south side.“

“Their nachos are beyond delicious.“

“Only food is pizza, the very best homemade frozen pizza you'll ever have...as good as from name brand pizza house, at half the price....drinks,.as thing, ..top booze
at half the price... Family owned for 41 yrs....neighborhood tavern style joint.“

“went here this morning for a couple of drinks with my friend and the bartender Susan was so nice, fun to talk to, and made our experience. definitely will be back for her. the crowd at the bar was also very chill & respectful, so it wasn’t obnoxious or too loud inside and gave us a chance to relax and catch up. they just have basic food options like mozz sticks or burgers, but the food was yummy, drinks were cold, and it’s always just nice to be served by anybody who’s so down to earth and personable. 🤗“

“Love the bartender she's very cool. Good service!😊“

“Biker bar very quiet and friendly people“

“Great local bar with the best bartenders in the area. If you want to experience what real Elgin is like, look no further than Hoppes! They have Fish Fry on Fridays but I’ve never had it but I want to. The owners are great and their sexy son, Chad, works some nights and is great eye candy for the ladies. If you want a bartender that serves up honesty along with great drinks, Jimmy is your man. He’s brutally honest so ask him to roast you for a good time. He once referred to a customer as the Vampire of Fun and he was spot on. Tiffany is a ball of energy, whose spirit is infectious. If you’re having a bad day, go during her shifts and she’ll pick you up immediately. Gale is the last bartender I’ve interacted with who works there. He’s a cool calm dude who can tell you some of the most interesting facts of the area. He’s also a caterer and a butcher when not at the bar. Theres someone for everyone here and if you’re in from out of town or just traveling through, have a stop at Hoppes just so you can say you’ve been there.“

“Beautiful bartender Lindsay and Christina and Tracy great drinks great service awesome karaoke every Friday.“

“Went with the Hubby on a Saturday date and had a great time! The other customers were friendly and we ended up chatting with half the bar before the night was through. 1 pool table but everyone was super chill taking turns to play. Bathroom was clean. Bartender was very attentive. Looking forward to going back!“

“Great authentic food Great service Very reasonably priced Large gaming area Highly recommend this place“

“Great burgers just like their Hoffman Estates location! Booths too!“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“Great place to relax and have ice cold drinks.“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“This was a wonderful treat! Excellent food-homemade soup; freshest salad I've had in a long time; and perfect for the season-that Candy Cane Cocoa was amazing! Beautiful building and so warm and inviting. And our host/waiter wasvery professional and attentive Highly recommend!“

“Stopped in last Sunday and they happened to be having free wings and potato wedges if you ordered a Bloody Mary. Bartender, Jasmine, was super friendly and told us about other specials they offer other days. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a new place to have a drink at a local Dive Bar.“

“Nice time. Played pool and darts. Great night“

“They have a pool table!!!! But can you move it in, just a bit. The poolstick hits the glass too much.Anyway their oven was not working so couldn't try the pizza, but they sold snacks. The drinks are basic but not bad. I don't mind cranberry vodka.Really cheap drinks. Amazing service and cool quiet chill atsmophere.I want to come back and play more billiards.“

“Great place to buy liquor, and beer. They also have a full service bar,the entire staff is very friendly and professional.Not to mention the people who patronize are also very polite and friendly. It's a must stop, if you haven't been there The owner is also very knowledgable about wines, ect“
